ADMITCHGGROUP requires the difference between rates rather than their relative percentage change. The two methods can identify different leaders.

What the primary record establishes

CFTC record 65591, dated 22 October 2026, links to KalshiEX’s ADMITCHGGROUP terms on admissions-rate changes within a defined group. CFTC record 65591, 22 October 2026 ↗

The comparison follows the specified direction and changes in percentage points. An institution must satisfy eligibility requirements in both of the years being compared. KalshiEX — ADMITCHGGROUP terms ↗

What the distinction changes

In a hypothetical example, 20% falling to 18% means −2 percentage points or −10% relatively. A fall from 10% to 8.5% means −1.5 points or −15% relatively.

The first decline is larger in points, while the second is larger relatively. These are WFN mathematical examples and not reported figures for actual universities.

What to check before drawing a conclusion

The calculation also needs matching rate definitions and the relevant data vintage. Mixing denominators or cohorts damages the comparison before ranking begins.

Write down the subtraction, direction and eligible set explicitly. A headline about the largest change cannot substitute for those conditions and does not establish a future outcome or the likelihood of a payout.
